Knopf. A wholo opooh lives again iu tbe little group of people so wonderfully pictured here; iu this story of an in couuptablo man and the beautiful woman who was his wife, aud of the house in which their moving drama took place. In every page there is a melanoholy beauty, a thrilling pathos; It underlies the easy brilliance of the writtiug, the vivacity with which Miss Cnther gives us all the idlosyncraclcs of that lavish, generous, careless era Through the whole story one figure stands out with irresistible fascination the flguro of Marian Forrester, full of feiiilnino my stery and charm, lusurutablt in her weakness and her leclcless courage. She is one of Miss Cather's greatest trlumps, Sunday World-Herald. See The Third Alarm tonito. time pievcntcd a. full competition for the vaiious piizcs, and made some delays and dissapointments in the taking of the photographs. Three photographs were secured the settlers of the first tour years in one group, the four children born dur ing the fiist thiee years, who showed up on the grounds, und a small poition of the ciowd that could be hastily assembled in the other. These pictures may be been at Gleason's gallery at any time and they will tell something about the gathering. The Cowles orchestra and the sing ing of the Cowles school children were praised very much by the U'.ir'icnce. Mr. Laban Wagoners solos charmed everybody. Mrs. rtaikcr'i dobciip- tion of life in a dug out reminded the old tlmehs of their experiences very vividly. John Waller, Charles Gur ncy, Mel Sherman and Woah Wago ,er gave vivid descriptions of cvrnfj and conditions of pioneer life that weie entertaining and instruc'.'.'c. The following prizes were awarded by the business men of Red Cloud: Oldest man born in the county Henry- Keeney, born May 1873, prize a pocket knife, given by George Trine. Oldest woman born in the county Mrs. Maggie Oatman, born November 1871, prize gold filled knitting needles given by James Mitchell. It is a close: question between her and Mrs. Lulu Mottcr as to which is the first born! They were both born in Nov ember 1871. In this , part of the county we had classed Mrs. Motter as the first girl born in the county. She was formerly Lulu Barber. She no longer lives here, so that there is no question but that Mrs. Oatman de serves the pi izc. She was Maggie Leach before her marriage and lived in the extreme north cast of the county but now lives one and one half miles east of this city. The oldest grandson of the pioneers is Robert McBride. Mr. McBride's parents came to the county in com pany with the Garbers in 1870 and his grandmother, Grandma Mick, came with his parents, and became a settler. She brought with her also two grand children, Mintie and Maggie Kizer, one of whom married Curtis Evans, while the other married Dp. Robinson of Guide Rock. Mrs. Evan's dauglv tcr, Mrs. Mabel Thomas received the prize as the oldest great grandchild. Her daughter is probably the oldest great great grand-daughter. The prize awarded to Mrs. Thomas was a sugar bowl and creamer given by Mr. Wullbrandt. George Coon strutted off with the piize for the tallest pioneer, a box of. cigars given by Grice and Grimes. Theie was but little competition among the heavyweights. When , CJharlio Amack waddled into view his rivals disappeared He pulled down the scales to indicate 325 pounds and is entitled to a pair of oveitdls from the Hamilton Clothing Company if he can be fitted out. I Tom Jones of Inavale claimed to have the largest feet and his claim was allowed This prize is given by the Marshbank Machins Shop. 1 Mrs. Frank Tenant was awarded the prize for the smallest feet. Mrs. Tenant is a very hale, active old lady for her age, something over 80 we are informed She wins the $2.00 from the Fuller Merc. Co. of Cowles. John Waller was awarded the prize for making the longest journey over land to effect a settlement in the county. 750 miles was the distance he traveled without using the railroad. The prize is $2.00 worth of aluminum ware given by Morhait IJros. Mrs. Effie Harvey was awarded the pi izc for living longest on the same section of land. This pi izc is $1.00 given by James Peterson of Cowles. John Harvey was awarded the pii'e for the neatest farm yard, a pocket knife by Henry Cook. There was an interesting competi tion for a prize awarded by the Star Clothing Company for the h'ggest head on the ground. Iheio weie four competitors and the smallest head among the four lequhcd a seven and a half hat. There were two whoso heads were of the same size, J. W. Davis and C. E. Amack. Theie was no need of casting lots because W. 11- Vance appeared with a seven and five eighth head. Vance'fl head is a little swollen because of some recent victories of his brother, who T!u piio for the oldest dish in the c.i'nty w.t. KM'H to Mrs. M. E. Paul of Cowles. This dish win over ninety yeais old. Pi ire is a fruit bowl given by F G. Tin nine & Son. Mra. Ed McCunc was awarded the privc for a hia'ded mg, made in 1871. The prize was a pair of felt slippers donated by Frank Smith. We aie not able at this time to publish the list of the winners of the pri7es given by the Cowles mer chants. Their names may appear in n later issue. William Crabill was soirewhat dis appointed because there was no com petition for the prize offered by him. He took up a new axe and expect ed some strife for the axe. There was timlicr and the day was just suitable for axe exercise. It will be awarded next year.
